- The compact car segment is not dead and for 2024, the #NissanSentra gets a refresh that brings even more #BabyAltima vibes, especially to the #SentraSR trim level. #Nissan gave this latest generation #Sentra full redesign in 2020 and while the company has failed to offer a turbo high performance version again, for those of you looking for a stylish commuter car with premium vibes, its still work a look.

Happy Monday guys! The Nissan Sentra is kind of like the forgotten choice in the compact sedan segment, but it gets some updates this year that make it even more enticing next to some drab looking rivals. We just wish the company would put a turbo or hybrid engine under the hood. Would you choose one over a Civic, Corolla, or Elantra?
Over a civic or Elantra? No
But over a corolla? Absolutely 💯 yes
I'll keep my Civic Type-R lol.
I've been in a Sentra, Corolla, and an Elantra. While the refreshed Sentra for 2024 is welcoming, I'd take the Elantra because of the longer warranty, tech, etc.
It is a $30,000 Nissan Sentra with a CVT and 149 Horsepower. I don't think it's even possible to rip off people more than this. Like, do we need to know more? They could put out 10 iterations of that CVT and I would never trust them again either. Anything with a JATCO component in it is a blacklisted car for me.
Agree 💯 it would make it unforgettable in a hybrid
All these people commenting about HP better not be Subaru Impreza owners!!
Crazy
All these better no b complaining about nutin, it’s a Sentra
While you complain about the lack lf turbo. We applaud it. The sentra is not a sports car, and the more complicated the engine is, the less reliable it is.
would just be an option, you don't have to get it if you don't want to. The previous generation Sentra had a Turbo model, so another one would make sense.
@TheActs2021 it doesn't make sense to have a turbo, the turbo is largely why the CVT grenades so consistently. The R&D department can stay focused on improving without the turbo. 😊
Would be nice to have the Sentra SER return to compete against the Civic Si again.
@kimblem.w9952 it's silly to waste money on such a car when their sentra line is quite successful as is. The Civic Si doesn't sell much as is, and it's known as one of the if not the best sporty yet practical cars on the market
@@Madlux14 it didn't sell well because it got redesigned in the middle of a new car shortage.
Reviewers: the new Nissan…
Comments: CVT CVT CVT
CVT work great as long as you drive normal. It will.not stand up to drag racing, towing heavy stuff or playing games like burnouts and crap. I had zero problems with my 2015. Unfortunately I got rear ended and they totaled out my car. Looking at this car or the Versa SR.
7.6 is good enough for like 90% of drivers.
That’s the truth - they all drive like Zombies while they’re texting 💬 and scrolling the Phukkin Phones 📱- making THEM and everyone behind them catch every
light 🚥 possible.
They cause traffic snarls and congestion because they WONT ENGAGE
The sentra, and for that matter Nissan is thecentry point for Japanese brands. Especially since they purchased Mitsubishi. Its okay. They have a place in the market. I have a 2022 pathfinder. It's fine. I know what I got for the price. Perspective please folks. It does what it is supposed to do. Forget the rims. Prop rod? Who cares. The pathfinder has one also. Pay it off in 4 years and keep driving. I'm glad nissan is around. Everybody doesn't have 50-60 grand for a vehicle.
As a Toyota Lexus lover, I’ve always liked the look of the Sentra, especially the SR trim. I just couldn’t stand their past CVT transmissions and the engine is so underpowered. I miss the spec V trim.
Same. Honestly, it’s probably a better quality interior than the Corolla and I really liked it, but in the end I made the same calculation you did and went with a Corolla. Not to mention, resale value is much better on the Corolla.
@@rickm8456 This isn't a car category for people to gamble with their money. Nissan reliability with those CVTs is a non-starter as nice as they may look. You buy compacts to be cost efficient, an unreliable car is not cost efficient.
@@ariescorner7655 but if you’re paying significantly less than a Toyota then the cost difference is unlikely to be consumed with any kind of issues in the Sentra. It’ll be cheaper to keep the Sentra than the corolla because you paid significantly less
The Corolla has a cvt also…
@@caliboyrob That's like saying Insignias are TVs too so therefore they are no different than Sonys. Aisin and Jatco aren't really in the same league. One is literally the best, and the other the worst.
Beautiful color exterior interior cool want to get my 19 year old this car it’s nice.
I actually like the way these look. If they brought back the SE-R with a good engine, transmission and suspension tuning, it would be a hitl!
True, I’m a big Nissan fan. Imagine if Nissan should bring back the Xterra probably, but in 2015 the Xterra was discontinued.
@@angelscarreviews6094 The return of the Xterra would be a great option too. It was popular. Seems like many brands are redesigning or bringing back rugged options.
100% agree. Especially considering the price point for this model.
You always talk negatively about a prop rod, but I can tell you that as a former technician, I'll take a prop rod over hood struts all day long. A prop rod has never failed on me and caused the hood to hit me on the head.
I’m dying to see the New Kicks SR - trading in my Rogue sport for it
There's videos out already. I don't mind the kicks I had 2019 rouge sport but kicks isn't the rouge. I'm just going to go with the Sentra SR
It really looks good. How is the transmission though?
I think this is best looking in it's class.
Great design
No LED tail lights in 2024 is crazy
What's the big deal?
@@davidjymit feels a little cheap considering the price, along with this the 2018 model of the Sentra even the base, has LED taillights its very ironic considering how they got rid of them for the remodel but it’s very very lazy.
@@davidjym basically every car has them, even cars that cheaper then this have them
@@davidjymthe Corolla, Mazda 3, Civic, and Impreza have LED head lights and taillights on every trim now, so Nissan has no excuses to not include them on every trim.
@@darthmalice410bro the price is cheap 😂 got see how much a civic cost then come back
Sentra SR: the car used to get your Altima energy up and finally upgrade to the holy grail..the Nissan Altima!! 😂
Altima? Holy Grail? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@The1realroDon't laugh. For certain demographics, yes the Holy Grail.
@@labradachig1976 lol it's about to be mine. I'm moving down from a Nissan frontier to the Sentra SR but I need to be convinced. I want the Kia forte GT a lot more.
@@labradachig1976and for other demographics, Toyota is the holy grail! 😂😂 could you take a wild guess on what demographic I’m talking about?
@@TreyDarkis Costco shoppers?
Nissan isn't good at making hybrids and they know it.
However
They can produce some of THE most efficient non-electrified engines.
Also I appreciate Nissan's appreciation of orange.
I rented the SV version for a week-long business trip recently and I am very very impressed by this car. Unlike the other brands, the exterior design looks very modern yet not overly edgy. I might just buy one as my commute/airport car. Having rented Corolla and Elantra frequently as well, this is is my choice (never seen a Civic for rental). The only weakness is the infotainment display is a tad small and is mounted straight and not tilted/biased towards the driver. Looking at that screen for navigation is not a good experience and it has quite a bit of glare. Everything else is great.
I had a Nissan Sentra back in 2005 it was great now i want the 2024 Sentra
👍
I want the new armada, pathfinder and murano! Nissan is showing everything bit those three
What do you mean? The current generation of the Pathfinder came out in 2022. As for the Murano that probably won’t be till fall and the Armada next year.
new? murano? those don’t belong in the same sentence
I really like the color & I will buy this car soon.
We had an Altima in the past which we loved but this was a more affordable second car. Great ride and awesome gas mileage in these days of high priced gas! We don’t even have a 1000 miles on it yet and getting 30-35 mpg mostly around town driving. Highly recommend!
This face lift is a few steps ahead 3 steps back cuz no more thin led headlights and led fog lights
That looks real good
Altima and Sentra are beautiful
Some CVT's may be bad at some point like the Rogue and the Pathfinder, the Sentra has a good combination with the carplay and 149 Horsepower. Also the Nissan Titan needs a redesign.
The Nissan Titan is dead. It’s not going forward after this year.
@@DeadAir21 Wow, just sad
@@angelscarreviews6094 to be fair a redesign wasn’t going to help the Titan

Tundra- 125k
Titan-19k
@@DeadAir21 it's truly a shame because if the photos of the newly restyled version is accurate, I consider it the best looking of the large size trucks.
The horrible Nissan cvts were the ones partnered with Renault.
Would it go faster with he smaller rim option?
Does this car have a spare tire or a kit? I didn't hear that mentioned in your video. I looked at a Toyota Corolla LE and the inside of the car was very plain, and it was also a little noisy at higher speeds. Honda Civics usually get the best reviews, but they're also more expensive.
was the Corolla LE fun to drive? or at least easy to drive?
The Sentra is a great car. My son has a 2023. I have three: 2011, 2013, and 2015.
Will there be a
SER SpecV trim?
A pretty obvious no. There hasn't been one in many generations, also Sentra's aren't selling as well as they used to a long time ago, so no way to justify a radically upgraded sport trim.
Hey I’ve been watching your reviews for a while and I got the itch to give this car review thing a try! If you could do me a solid and give me a list of all the equipment you use
Sentra SE-R with VC turbo engine? Boys would like that 😏
base model has no LED in front how sad even my moms 2023 versa has driver and passenger auto up windows
I remember when the Sentra used to have Civic SI version called Sentra SE-R Spec V
Nissan if your reading this bring back the SE-R SPEC V!!!! plz!
If their cvt was more reliant to reaching 200k miles i feel like id love this vehicle. It always feels like its a ticking time bomb, will my tranmission last till 100k?
Also wtf is with the non led turn signals? It cant be that fkn expensive jesus
It should come with a Uber sticker from the factory
I like that there are options out there without turbo or hybrid. I would rather see production cost go down and easier for the home mechanic to work on.
I have had a 2020 Sentra SV for about 6 months now. My previous car was a Ford Fusion Hybrid. I miss the hybrid MPG, but the Sentra actually goes beyond just being a nice little car, it's actually fun to drive and mine is bright blue and looks great. I look forward to driving it.
They can do the SE-R with the 1.5L 3 cyl 201hp/225trq that the rogue has. There is your SI competitor.
That engine is bad blowing up they have a class action lawsuit
Mazda 3 all the way buddeh,i would choose the sentra over everything except for the mazda 3,and the elantra.
Hate the new civics and corrola.
CvT nevermind, lol
What car doesn’t have a cvt? At this price point don’t worry I’ll wait
@@fabolousjada5070 I think he was tryna say CVT made by JATCO
For that price, it needs 200 hp.
Sentra SR needs a detuned version of the VC-Turbo from the Altima
Agreed. Rogue's turbo 3 would be very interesting in this. 200 hp and 225 lb/ft.
And a manual transmission.
for what ? nobodies putting their foot in a sentra ... 😂... the trubo 3 might come later tho
@@jermainec2462 Daily drivers are a thing you donut
For context, the 1981 Datsun 280ZX Turbo did 0-60 in 7.1 seconds.
What does that have to do with anything? And a z does it in 4.0 seconds now.
how much HP did that 280ZX have ?
@@TheActs2021non Turbo 145hp, Turbo 180hp
@@TheCarCrazyGuy not bad
I saw this exact car at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show. And I sat in it. I kinda liked it. It was weight next to a 2024 Nissan Altima SR in a really nice metallic blue, the Altima also had AWD decals on it to advertise its all wheel drive system.
Would you you guys pick the 2024 SE Camry or this?
Nope
I love my Nissan Sentra. It is affordable and has a sporty look.
I am not liking this black roof trend. Toyota is into it, I’ve even seen some Teslas with the pillars blackout. It’s like the return of the vinyl top. Great review as always!
Idk what i dislike more , the color or the rims
Needs way more power for that price. If they put the Rogue's turbo engine into this, it would be a lot more interesting.
Agreed. I have the previous generation SR, unfortunately it has 25 HP less, but it was also like 8K less than this one... and my MPG is better than what this new one has
If they would get rid of the cvt they would probably sale a lot more maybe put a dual clutch like Kia and Hyundai
It’s a nice car but why do they cheap out so much with the lights?
That car here, Puerto Rico, is around $35K!! Holy!!😮😮.
It needs the maxima engine
This engine 2.0 is the same that was in the old ser?
Not even close. The B13 SE-R and B14 200SX used the SR20DE. the B15 used the 2.5L QR25DE out of the Altima.
@@bruddahmanmatt
Guy be comparing the god-level SR20-DE(T)(VE) motors to this :(
it's the same as the previous generation SR
Needs 200HP, Manuel, All Wheel Drive, and a 10-12inch screen, bigger sun roof, full digital display, would be a good car to buy..
Needs the 1.5T from the Rogue as an optional engine for an SE-R version.
Butter chicken orange
Nissan should bring back nismo trim with 6MT. 😊
7.6 sec with only a 149 hp gas engine and weighing 3084 pounds makes no sense.
true... my 2001 Nissan Maxima had 222 HP, weighing at 3235 lbs, automatic 0-60 was 7.8 seconds... hmmm...
You got the A/C on😂😂
Arr you allowed to own one of these if your credit score is above 600?
Prolly not.
650 and up is usually what you need.
Brake torqued acceleration with a CVT is no bueno... going to overheat that CVT unless Nissan has fitted a bigger transmission cooler to the Sentra. 😮 Still prefer the Mazda 3 with a torque converter automatic transmission.... and almost 50 more horsepower
SR make sportinest , whe need this car turbo and manual!!!! No more CVT NISSAN YOU KILLING THE MARCK💨🪨
We are just few years away from Mazda/Subaru/VW discontinuing their 3/Impreza/Jetta.
Mazda 3 is getting another generation in 2025 or 26 in the states.
no we aren’t
@@nateb7793 I'm talking in the USA
No more compact sedans 😮
@@wilchambers1401 i was responding to the guy that said they were all being discontinued, i wouldn’t surprised if we get another 3, elantra, civic, corolla etc and we just got the new forte (k4)

Civics #1 mazda3 #2 and Elantra forte k4 Sentra all tie for #3
@@janoycresnova9156 agreed. Also, Civic almost has the rear legroom of a Camry.
It’s much more spacious and (imo) better looking.

Did I hear front sensors FINALLY 😫
I'd trade that Bose speaker system for a power folding side mirror.
If it’s not the best at anything then they have to beat the competition on price
It does and there are discounts
Secretary car in a pretty dress.😂
I have a g37s sedan. Put the VQ37vhr in it and sold. (I know it would never work with that layout).
Hey there's something wrong here, all the body panels are intact
Good value
The last of affordable cars
That’s a really nice looking car for a nice price. My only concern is that CVT, even though it’s an updated tranny I’m still a little apprehensive.
Hmm this or a Jetta GLI with a non CVT lol. Hell I’d rather have the outgoing Forte GT then this.
save a bit more and just get the cheapest new camry
The Camrys nowhere near as good as it used to be. The 8th gen imo is peak Camry. And the 9th gen is an abomination
@@naveenthemachine what is it you dont like about the 9th gen?
@@naveenthemachine In what ways are they not as good as before. I know someone with a 2018 one with close to 250k miles on it and has had zero issues with it. I was talking to him recently, and he told me he would only consider replacing it with another Camry.
@@EvendimataE it looks worse than the 8th gen, interior looks worse, too much shiny black plastics vs the 8th gen and there’s no v6 anymore like there used to
Not to mention because it’s a Toyota you’ll be paying insane markups
@@Aki_Lesbrinco the 2018 is the 8th gen. Nothing against that
The 9th gen is the problem
This looks like it could be the pre-refresh model. They really took the wrong approach on the front end.
Better than Hyundai products
Put in a real automatic transmission and not a useless CVT and the Sentra may be a winner. Better yet a 6spd!
The Mazda 3 is definitely the best in the class but this is a good option over a Corolla for sure.
My neighbor and brother in law had their Nissan’s CVT quite at 100k miles. Nissan has to fix their CVTs
Nissan has. Anything built in that 2020’s should have the improved CVT.
My wife's 2011 Rogue went through two transmission replacements before hitting 50k miles. We got rid a bit later after the warranty ran out.
@Aki_Lesbrinco my neighbors 15 rogue has over 300k moles and no cvt issues
CVTs are gross, would love to see a nismo version of the sentra
I just bought a 2022 Altima, and this is literally a mini version. It has the same steering wheel, instrument cluster, touch screen, exterior lights, and other details. I love my Altima, but for a compact I would have to look elsewhere.
Change the Cvt fluid ASAP in your Altima
29k for asentra?lol
Not going to lie but the 0-30 didnt look to bad.
👏👏
baby bae
i dont like hyundai/kia but i think id pick those over a nissan 💀
All manufactures of sedans need to think Sportback. The rear deck lid needs to henge at the top of the rear glass. In this segment compete with the Buick Envista and Chevy Trax.
I will keep my 2021 Kia forte with almost identical features paid a fraction of what they are asking for this
I give credit to Nissan for definitely giving us a stylish sedan that is definitely more premium than the previous generations. I’d still take the current Civic because I actually like the interior better and I actually prefer the Civic’s 2.0L engine with 158 HP.
Sentra 2.0 is faster than the Civic lol
Id blindly take this over the corolla all day long. But not over a civic or k4 Elantra or mazda3 which are the best executed vehicles in the class
Stupid . Corolla will outlive this 4 times
Because Toyota ranks the Lowest on your list, and Nissan is probably the second lowest.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 well now Nissan ranks a bit higher you’re right but you can clearly see Nissan is at least trying to execute well.
hyundai , mazda . . . 😂
OK no one cares
We have a base model which has the same drive train. It is the most boring underpowered car in the world. That drive train has no right being in a SR trim
😭😭😭😭😭😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where's the Maxima? It's been a long time. Bring one to review, please!!
Maxima was discontinued last year
The Maxima is no longer in production as of last summer. However, from my knowledge, it might make a return as an EV in the future.
Stop promoting hair growth products, nothing works! If it did the world would pound a path to the product 😂

Yeah, it's kind of funny that he's promoting it, when he keeps losing hair on every video.
Looks great but so very lazy of them to just copy the design of the Altima each year, I miss when the Sentra used to get its own things and own styles like the Nismo edition of the 2018 and 2019 models along with this I find it crazy that they’re almost regressing as they’re cutting LED pieces like the taillights which were also on the 18, and 19 models I just hope they can either do something new next year since the Altima is leaving as well, or stop price gouging for features other companies offer standard. I unlike others actually like the CVT I don’t prefer it over anything else but it’s not bad at all but I’m just staying optimistic!
Gotta be honest, this interior looks pretty similar to my 2019 Kia Forte.
It's because Kia copied Nissan
Cvt is not junk if u want junk buy DSG transmission and u will see u will have headache.
Cvt are good only one challenge with it the chain is the one thing as time needs to be changed but other than that good transmission.expecially if u know how to fix it like us
Oh man! Almost 30k for 149 hp is insane. At least give it a new i3 turbo 🥲.
You don't need all those lottle extras to make it that expensive. It's OK that a base civic is 28k though and it's slower with the 2.0 but atleast you can get the 1.5.
@@occckid123 the base civic is around 24k and it is 158 hp which make more sense. I believe at 28k you already get to higher trim which include turbo option.
30k for sentra is insane for real, I just got a rouge sv at 27k only
@TrungNguyen-lk1zi well idk but i was chatting with 2 people and they both said 28k. My uncle just got a turbo version and it was 33k. Also it's almost a second slower 0-60 lol.
can't wait to see this car on the highway with the bumper falling off.
Lol for less than 30k I can get a fully loaded Elantra or Forte sport. Or honda sport trim.
Then why are you here.....
Idk man the Elantra and Forte are not as appealing on th exterior
Toyota is the best
Said nobody ever 😂
